Steve Jurvetson's Book Recommendations

"The single book that’s had the most influence on me my entire life. It started my life long fascination of the biological metaphors in technology."

"The only thing I did to prepare for being a parent was to read The Scientist in the Crib."

"I have been maintaining a graph from this book ever since I read The Age of Spiritual Machines, and I show it in every presentation I give. I would go further and assert that this is the most important graph ever conceived."

"A series of epiphanies from the author and others that the world is really interesting when you look at iterative algorithms applied millions and billions of times."

"Realized that a quantum computer would be fundamentally unlike anything we have in this world today."

"A gift to all of my Apple II programming buddies from high school and Dungeons & Dragons comrades."

"Steve Jurvetson mentioned this book on "The Tim Ferriss Show" podcast."
